I bought a few 1915 CJ's over the past year. All were altered, including this Smoky Joe, but that kept the cost down. This one is trimmed but I'm pretty happy with the quality otherwise and it was well below $1k. Also, remember that not all cards sell for the price they are listed at. Time will tell if a 2.5 actually sells for $4400. There are numerous cards on Ebay that I want, but don't even bother offering or watching because the price is so I high I feel like I would be wasting my time trying to negotiate. Some sellers even use it as a strategy. Posting a price way too high then reducing the price so it shows at a big discount in the listing. Or they offer viewers/watchers a temporary offer that's substantially lower than that the list price.

To me, this is a $1,000 card, regardless of the fact that it is a CJ, featuring the ever-popular Joe Wood.
This does not feel normal. The speed of these massive rise in values is not a good thing for the hobby. We are racing towards a bubble. I can see panic selling of intrinsically worthless pieces of cardboard. Hope I am wrong.
